and republicans, what would you say? >> i think that russia has to be much more constructive on the subject of joint ballistic missile attacks. up to now, russia has proposed some agreements. e some agreements but there is a widespread impression that this group assessment of threats and whatever is done in joint ballistic missiles has, for russia, lever to put the brakes on an american program. i think it is time to come out with new proposals. maybe you think what vladimir putin proposed on on the joint data center on mitchell -- missile launchers but also move forward whe. vladimir putin and president medvedev proposed that we have to have joint missile defense with the united sates and the european union. how about the russian people living in asia. ? are they entitled to protection or not? many people are going away from that but still, if we are to have ballistic missile defense coverage in asia and america would like to cover their asian allies, there is the question of china. both russia and the united states, not jointly but in bilateral format in parallel should start serious cons

and eliminating them. that is a great problem. keep its tactical nukes only on its territory which actually russia does now. and to have a formal agreement that those nuclear weapons would be kept in storage and not deployed with operational conventional forces. if you want to go further than that and insist that all of them are in centralized storage, you would have to have verification procedures by which russians would be able to come to every american air force and naval base to make sure that in the depots of these bases, there are no cruise missiles or for any other weapon. in charleston, according to available data, about 100 nuclear warheads or cruise missiles. it would be prohibited and russia should have the right to come to every base and to say that as strategic. if it is tactical, you would have to get rid of it. that might be possible but it would be extremely difficult. >> let us take two questions. >> thank you very much. i have a question on ratification. those of us who have been through other treaties no complicated and politicized ratification debates can they hear in the unite

argument in favor of the new treaty in russia is the american reductions. nothing prevents russia from reducing uses -- producing new systems, and i show will be under the ceiling anyway because of the withdrawal of old system and very small numbers of deployment of the new ones. but in 10 years, according to the russian side of the plan, russia will almost fully modernize its plan under start, at least by 70%. that is the official number. including, and i would draw your attention to that, the plan developers and in deployment of a new heavy missile. and then if the united states insist on a new treaty, on going further with reductions, and russia at the provisions will be much bigger than now, because then it will affect newly deployed, very expensive systems, rather than a ceiling on the empty places, since russia is now withdrawing too easily to fill the new start treaty. in order to conduct nuclear disarmament and go with further arms reductions, it would be very important to persuade russian politically and strategic communities, and three principal ideas. the first is that nucle

of the soviet union then russia and the united states. and in many countries missiles and bombers and submarines but from this point* is less impressive because it 10 years duration time it is a reduction of four has will be a few hundred at best and even that was a new quite formal accounting rules. the main significance of the new treaty is not in its physical reduction. the main significance is restoration of the hormones dialogue of a strategic relationship between the two leading nuclear superpowers? after a long break, it is kept in mind we have not had a new strategic arms control treaty for 20 years since 1991. we never had a treaty that was signed supplemented or magnified and into force. we had that chain of unsuccessful sort which i mentioned but never had a formal binding treaty. here is the significance. basically we have a slightly different ceilings for the delivery of vehicles and agreed accounting rules and procedures. this is not surprising because the expiration puts it very tight schedule. and less than one year of actually having negotiations , basically in the preceding yea

, the west might look at it in a much less hostile way rather than one russia says this is our area of national interest which is often seen as neo-imperial attempts to dominate. russia does not want nato to take over post-soviet space under whatever pretext and deprive russia of its legitimate interests toward russia as nec minorities and economic investment and everything russia has with respect to that space. there is concern that some conflict in the caucuses, which still remains quite likely, may bring russia and the wet sand and to direct confrontation -- and the west into direct confrontation. if nato comes right to the russian border from the west and from the south, that is why russia says that. in the new military doctrine, it is formulated in a very cautious way, just like the formulation on nuclear-weapons. it is worth mentioning here because in some short time, russia will come with its nuclear posture review. russians waited and waited for this to come with their own military doctrine. then they decided not to wait any longer but then as military doctrine was effective

was a turning point with the u.s. and russia. they had two different narratives of what was happening in the balkans. the clinton had been attrition fought primarily in terms of the aggression, serbian atrocities. the russians were thinking about a civil war and felt both parties were probably at fault and clearly did not want to allow the united states and nato to use military force unilaterally against serbia which was a traditional russian client. why was it wrong in your view for the clinton administration to move against what was pursued at the time as serbian aggression and serbian atrocities against the muslims? >> guest: i speak for the very reason you indicated, that the way that it was done was as we say counterproductive in the long run because if we had cooperated closely with russia to control the serbs, and we would have been able to do that if we had not start expanding nato to the east to their disadvantage. then i think we could have gotten more cooperation to keep molosovich, the serbian leader under control or if not we could have gotten a vote in the security counc
